You can do tape-to-tape, or you can save a tape image in a file, so you can read a tape once, then write forever: copytape /dev/rst8 some.file copytape some.file /dev/rst8 copytape some.file /dev/rst8 .... Depending on the volume/deadlines you have, this might be a good choice. If you have lots of identical tapes to make, you can set this going and flip tapes as you pass by. I even use copytape on a Sun to duplicate Apollo cartridges. -- Anthony A. Datri @SysAdmin(Stepstone Corporation) aad@stepstone.com stpstn!aad
